Nanny’s Silly Soap (NSS — Traditional Formula) Down Home Summer
This soap somewhat reminds me of the characteristics of The Los Angeles Shaving Soap Company (LASSCo) soap. Even with just a slightly damp brush, when loading the soap it quickly explodes into a light, airy lather. When I load a soap, I want a relatively thick paste that I can work into a lather later. When the soap already works itself into a lather upon loading, there’s not much to work with later on…
The lather got a little better on my face, when I put some effort into it, along with some more water, of course. This soap provides good slickness & glide, but not as much cushion or protection. The scent is described as “earthy with floral summer notes”. To me, the emphasis was on earthy, but I found the dry scent quite pleasing. This would be a soap for those who like a simple, light soap. I’ll have to try NSS’s other formulas at some point, to see how they differ from the Traditional.

Whenever I go to shave, I assume there’s someone else on the planet shaving, so I say “I’m gonna go shave, too.”
